And unlike the earlier PMP-1000, music continues to play even while browsing the file manager to add new songs.
The PMP-2 loses all that unnecessary bodywork and stuff in favour of a minimal platform-with-wheels design that doesn't inspire much confidence to look at, though it apparently balances alright with a bit of practice (see video).
Jumping on the "record everything, everywhere" bandwagon is PMP-producer Archos, and its aptly-named Helmet Camcorder gives you on-the-go recording ability that reportedly plays nice with the company's 404, 504, 604 and 604 WiFi units.

Sure, they pack in a superb 2.5-inch 960 x 240 pixel display capable of 262K colors in a PMP capable of both MPEG-4 playback and recording at up to 640 x 480 pixels.
The YM-PD1 PMP with DMB contains all the acronyms you'll ever need... in Korea.
Even a 320kbps track worked fine and the line-out audio sounded just as good as from an ordinary PMP (not from its bundled handsfree though -- our review unit didn't come with one).
Of course in addition to emulating that massive library of 8-bit goodness, the PMP will also handle MP3, OGG, FLAC, and WAV audio, as well as AVI, MPEG-4 SP, XviD, and DivX video, which you can view on the player's 2.5-inch QVGA screen.
If you're still with us, this PMP also sports a couple of flip-out mouse-ear speakers for use in a pinch, TV-out, AV-in, MP3 and WMA playback support, FM tuner with recorder functionality, and about 3 hours of video playback on battery which is about as good as it gets in a smaller package than both the current iPod and Zen Vision:M.
Given the number of DMB PMPs we've seen lately, including some with DVR-like functions, we'd say an IPTV VOD DVR PMP is an idea whose time has come.
Starting with the base, the back side features inputs for power, a 3.5mm line-in jack (sadly, you can't bleed in your PMP with the TOSlink feed), an optical input and a sync button.
